Update your course outline
Several key considerations must be addressed when using educational technology tools in your course. It is your responsibility to ensure that students are fully informed about the tool, its costs, and other details to align with University policy and Provincial acts.
We strongly encourage you to include all of this essential information in your course outline, to ensure students are aware of how it impacts them.
Refer to the TMU course outline template for some ways to incorporate this information into your course outline and to the Senate Course Outline Policies for guidance on what needs to be included in your course outlines.
Consult the assessment guide (link above) to find recommended language to include in your Course Outline.
